Employees from Red Mountain High School, and Roosevelt, Sirrine and Webster elementary schools were celebrated for their service at the Jan. 24 board meeting.

January Employees of the Month were recognized by superintendency and school board members for their leadership, commitment and dedication to students. Their service to Mesa Public Schools is forever appreciated.

Certified and classified employees are nominated for the award by co-workers and endorsed by administrators. Selected employees are honored during the second board meeting of the month from September to April. The board meetings are usually standing room only and full of energy as the employees accept their honors.

Employees of the Month receive certificates, school board tributes and $400 for professional development workshops or conferences of their choice.
